When we look back at it all
As I know we will
You and me, wide eyed
I wonder...
Will we really remember
How it feels to be this alive?
And I know we have to go
I realize
We only get to stay so long
Always have to go back to real lives
Where we belong
Where we belong
Where we belong
When we think back to all this
And I'm sure we will
Me and you,
Here and now
Will we forget the way
It really is
Why it feels like this
And how?
And we always have to go
I realize
We always have to say goodbye
Always have to go back to real lives
But real lives are the reason why
We want to live another life
We want to feel another time
Another time...
Yeah another time
To feel another time...
When we look back at it all
As I know we will
You and me, wide eyed
I wonder...
Will we really remember
How it feels to be this alive?
And I know we have to go
I realize
We always have to turn away
Always have to go back to real lives
But real lives are why we stay
For another dream
Another day
For another world
Another way
For another way
One last time before its over
One last time before the end
One last time before its time
To go again...

Watching me fall

Yeah I've been watching me fall
For it seems like years
Watching me grow small,
I watch me disappear
Slipping out my ordinary world,
Out my ordinary eyes
Yeah slipping out the ordinary me
Into someone else's life
Into someone else's life...
There's a thin white
Cold new moon
And the snow is coming down
And the neon bright tokyo lights
Flicker through the crowd
I've been drifting around for hours
And I'm lost and I'm tired
When a whisper in my ear
Insatiable breathes
"Why don't you follow me inside?..."
Yeah the room is small,
The room is bright
Her hair is black,
The bed is white
And the night is always young
Is always young...
Always young
The night is always young...
Yeah I've been seeing them
Strip to the bone
In the mirror on the wall
Seeing her swallow him whole
Like it's not me at all
She holds out her hands
And I follow her down to my knees
And the sucking inside
Insatiable smiles
"You will forget yourself in me..."
Yeah the room is small,
The room is bright
Her eyes are black,
The bed is white
And the night is always young
And the night goes on and on
And the night is always young
And the night is never over
And over and over and over
And over...
And then it's gone
And then it's gone
Yeah then it's gone...
Yeah it's a cruel mean
Cold new day
And outside the snow
Is still coming down
And in the blood red tokyo bed
I watch me coming round
She pulled him down for hours
Deeper than I've ever been
And as I fall in the mirror on the wall
I'm watching me scream
I'm watching me scream
I'm watching me scream
I'm watching me scream
Yeah I've been watching me go
For it must be years
Watching me get slow,
I watch me disappear
And one day, yeah I know,
I won't come back at all
And always over and over
In his ordinary eyes
I'm watching me fall
I'm watching me fall
I'm watching me fall
I'm watching me fall

Where the Birds Always Sing

The world is neither fair nor unfair
The idea is just a way for us
To understand
But the world is neither fair nor unfair
So one survives
The others die
And you always want a reason why
But the world is neither just
Nor unjust
It's just us trying to feel
That there's some sense in it
No, the world is neither just
Nor unjust
And though going young
So much undone
Is a tragedy for everyone
It doesn't speak a plan
Or any secret thing
No unseen sign
Or untold truth
In anything...
But living on in others,
In memories and dreams
Is not enough
You want everything
Another world
Where the sun always shines
And the birds always sing
Always sing
The world is neither fair nor unfair
The idea is just a way for us
To understand
No, the world is neither fair nor unfair
So some survive
And others die
And you always want a reason why
But the world is neither just
Nor unjust
It's just us trying to feel
That there's some sense in it
No, the world is neither just
Nor unjust
And though going young
So much undone
Is a tragedy for everyone
It doesn't mean there has to be
A way of things
No special sense that hidden hands
Are pulling strings
But living on in others,
In memories and dreams
Is not enough
And it never is
You always want
So much more than this
An endless sense of soul
And an eternity of love
Sweet mother down below
And a just father above
For living on in others,
In memories and dreams
Is not enough
You want everything
Another world
Where the birds always sing
Another world
Where the sun always shines
Another world
Where nothing ever dies

Maybe Someday

No I won't do it again,
I don't want to pretend
If it can't be like before
I've got to let it end
I don't want what I was,
I had a change of head
But maybe someday
Yeah maybe someday
I've got to let it go
And leave it gone
Just walk away,
Stop it going on
Get too scared to jump
If I wait too long
But maybe someday...
I'll see you smile
As you call my name
Start to feel,
And it feels the same
And I know that maybe
Someday's come
Maybe someday's come... again!
So tell me someday's come
Tell me some days come again...
No I won't do it some more,
Doesn't make any sense
If it can't be like it was
I've got to let it rest
I don't want what I did,
I had a change of tense
But maybe someday...
I'll see you smile
As you call my name
Start to feel,
And it feels the same
And I know that maybe
Someday's come
Maybe someday's come...
If I could do it again
Maybe just once more
Think I could
Make it work
Like I did before
If I could try it out
If I could just be sure
That maybe someday is the last time
Yeah maybe someday is the end
Or maybe someday is
When it all stops
Or maybe someday
Always comes again...

The Last Day of Summer

Nothing I am
Nothing I dream
Nothing is new
Nothing I think or believe in
Or say
Nothing is true
It used to be so easy
I never even tried
Yeah it used to be so easy
But the last day of summer
Never felt so cold
The last day of summer
Never felt so old
Never felt so...
All that I have
All that I hold
All that is wrong
All that I feel for or trust in
Or love
All that is gone
It used to be so easy
I never even tried
Yeah it used to be so easy
But the last day of summer
Never felt so cold
The last day of summer
Never felt so old
The last day of summer
Never felt so cold
Never felt so...

There Is No If...

Remember the first time
I told you I love you
It was raining hard and you never heard
You sneezed!
And I had to say it over
"I said I love you" I said...
You didn't say a word
You just held your hands
To my shining eyes
And I watched
As the rain ran through your fingers
Held your hands
To my shining eyes
And smiled as you kissed me...
"If you die" you said
"So do I" you said...
And it starts the day
You make the sign
"Tell me I'm forever yours
And you're forever mine
Forever mine..."
"If you die" you said
"So do I" you said...
And it starts the day
You cross that line
"Swear I will always be yours
And you'll be always be mine
You'll always be mine
Always be mine..."
Remember the last time
I told you I love you
It was warm and safe
In our perfect world
You yawned
And I had to say it over
"I said I love you" I said...
You didn't say a word
Just held your hands
To your shining eyes
And I watched
As the tears ran through your fingers
Held your hands
To your shining eyes
And cried...
"If you die" you said
"So do I" you said...
But it ends the day
You see how it is
There is no always forever...
Just this
Just this...
"If you die" you said
"So do I" you said
But it ends the day
You understand
There is no if... just and
There is no if... just and
There is no if...

The Loudest Sound

Side by side in silence
They pass away the day
So comfortable, so habitual
And so nothing left to say
Nothing left to say
Nothing left to say
Side by side in silence
His thoughts echo round
He looks up at the sky...
She looks down at the ground
Stares down at the ground
Stares down at the ground
Side by side in silence
They wish for different worlds
She dreams him as a boy...
And he loves her as a girl
Loves her as a girl...
And side by side in silence
Without a single word...
It's the loudest sound
It's the loudest sound...
It's the loudest sound
I ever heard

39

So
the fire is almost out
And there's nothing left to burn
I've run right out of thoughts
And I've run right out of words
As I use them up,
I use them up...
Yeah the fire is almost cold
And there's nothing left to burn
I've run right out of feelings
And I've run right out of world
And everything I promised,
And everything I tried
Yeah everything I ever did
I used to feed the fire
I used to feed the fire
I used to feed the fire
I used to feed the fire
But the fire is almost out
Is almost out...
And there's nothing left to burn
No there's nothing left to burn
Not even this...
And the fire is almost dead
And there's nothing left to burn
I've finished everything...
And all the things I promised,
And all the things I tried
Yeah all the things I ever dreamed
I used to feed the fire
I used to feed the fire
I used to feed the fire
I used to feed the fire
But the fire is almost out...
Half my life I've been here
Half my life in flames
Using all I ever had
To keep the fire ablaze
To keep the fire ablaze
To keep the fire ablaze
To keep the fire ablaze...
But there's nothing left to burn
No there's nothing left to burn
And the fire is almost out
The fire is almost out
Yeah the fire is almost out
Almost out, almost out
Almost out, almost out...
And there's nothing left to burn

Bloodflowers

"This dream never ends" you said
"This feeling never goes
The time will never come
To slip away"
"This wave never breaks" you said
"This sun never sets again
These flowers will never fade"
"This world never stops" you said
"This wonder never leaves
The time will never come
To say goodbye"
"This tide never turns" you said
"This night never falls again
These flowers will never die"
Never die
Never die
These flowers will never die
"This dream always ends" I said
"This feeling always goes
The time always comes
To slip away"
"This wave always breaks" I said
"This sun always sets again
And these flowers will always fade"
"This world always stops" I said
"This wonder always leaves
The time always comes
To say goodbye"
"This tide always turns" I said
"This night always falls again
And these flowers will always die"
Always die
Always die
These flowers will always die
Between you and me
It's hard to ever really know
Who to trust
How to think
What to believe
Between me and you
It's hard to ever really know
Who to choose
How to feel
What to do
Never fade
Never die
You give me
Flowers of love
Always fade
Always die
I let fall
Flowers of blood
